A wonderful long sleep left everyone feeling rejuvenated and their kit toasty and dry after being hung over the fire overnight. The team left in really good spirits with Rob Keane after some really good porridge!
They headed off up Ciste Dhubh first, in honour of the Royal Gloucester, Wiltshire and Berkshire Regiment and then headed west to Aonach Meadhoin, Sgurr a Bhealaich Dheirg, Saileag, and Sgurr na Ciste Duibhe, which were dedicated to the Yorkshire Regiment.
They also climbed Sgurr na Carnach - dedicated to Cpl Harvey Holmes, Mercian Regiment and finally Sgurr Fhuaran for LCpl Alan David Cochran and Cpl Terry Webster, also from the Mercian Regiment.
After another very wet day, the team came into Glenlicht House, a bothy owned by The University of Edinburgh mountaineering society, bang on time at 1800. They were very wet but the support team got a good fire going and the kit is slowly drying out. They all enjoyed a delicious stir-fry supper.
The team is just 10 days away from completing the mission. Alex will be the youngest person to have climbed all the munros and it will be the 2nd quickest time ever!
